The Late DR.. HELEN.

At a meeting of the Rector, Wardeltses4d
Vestry OF st. Peters Parish, Montgomery
county, the following minute was unani-
mousy adopted:
We deeply deplore the loss we have sus.
tanned in the falling asleep of DR.. VIM. ID.
HELEN, at his late residence, near DECKER
sons, on April Goth, 1887. While we feel
the blow Providence has sent, we bow in
submission to His divine decree and recog-
nize that HE hath done all things well"
As gentleman, The deceased was highly
regarded by all. Every one who came in
contact with him and learned to know him
speaks warmest praises in his behalf. lie was
always courteous and polite, met the poor
and rich alike with cordial greeting. lie
never heaped reproaches upon his fellow
men, but only spoke when he could let the
good be known. He had benevolent heart,
and it gave him pleasure to do an act of kind
ness by which he could make others cheer
full and happy. His manner, SO extremely
tender and gentle, was but the expression
of the inward feelings and drew to him
many devoted friends and admirers
Not only as a gentleman, but as a Chris
tian we had for him the profoundest respect.
He was Vestryman oil this Parish for the
past eight years, with the exception OF two
spent IN Baltimore, when he was elected
Vestryman OF st. BarthoIomew's church }
aud was always faithful in the discharge of
his duties He was delegate, repeatedly,
to the Diocesan Convention and always
eyinced much interest in eccesiastic affairs.
He was lover of the truth as held by the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and We be-
lieve all humble follower of the meek and
lowly Jesus We have every reason to hope
he has gone to his rest, that he is with Christ
and that the loss to the church below is but
the admission of another to the church above.
We extend TO his family our sympathy,
and pray that God may send them strength
to kiss the Rod that has smitten. May His
abundant blessing be poured upon them
and give them peace
Resolved, That this frail testimonial Of our
esteem for Dr. HELEN be printed in the
county papers, "The Maryland Church
man." spread upon the records of the Yes
try, and a copy sent to Mrs. HELEN
By order of the Vestry

Cora Cummings, a little girl six years Of
age, was seriously burned Tuesday 1t
seems she and little brother were in the
wsods playing. The little fellow set fire to
some broom sedge with a match and then
held it to her clothes, setting her on fire
The child ran and her screams attracted
the attention of Mr.. John Bangheart, who
stripped her clothes off and thus saved her
life. She is suffering very much with severe
burns about her body.
The old canal has the appearance sf dying
slow death. But few boats are running,
ewing to competition between the railroads,
the Pennsylvania Railroad making such a
cut in freights as it is said the canal is I'M
able to live under. But few men are en-
ployed ON the repairs Where formerly Il
gang of ten men were employed now there
are three to four. Fortunately the canal is
in fair repair, and by close economy she may
pull through.

want to go up stairs to bed"
"All right, sir, and Pll send the

can shave before breakfast"
"Young man." said the Indianian
as light dawned upon him,
"you're off your base; I don't want
no razor to shave with; L want a
raiser that will get me up stairs

Ten Guests and One Egg.
Youths Companion.


Oae egg for ten guests is the pat
tern at the California ostrich farm.
"One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten," said Dwight
Whiting, counting the guests he
had invited to spend the day at the
ostrich farm with him. 81 guess
that one egg will be enough"
Having given utterance to this
expression he wended his way to
the paddock and soon brought to
the house an ostrich egg. For n
whole hour it was boiled and
though there was then some mis-
giving rs to its being cooked, the
shell was broken, for curiosity
could no longer be restrained, and
q three-pound hard-boiled egg lay
upon the plate.
But aside from its size there was
nothing peculiar about it. The
white had the blush tinge seen in
the duck egg and and the yolIi was
or the usual color, IT tasted as it
looked, like q duck egg, and had no
flavor peculiar to itself, But it was
immense, AS II takes twenty-eight
hens eggs to equal in weight the
Ostrich egg, which was cooked, it Is
evident that the host knew what
he was about in cooking only one,

HindOO Marriage Customs

In the peninsula of Hindoostan
every woman must be married. 1t
is accounted disgrace to be
single, and, to make sure, children
of tender age are betrothed to each
other. Then, again the couple are
expected to live together, no mat
ter how repulsive the union may
be to either of the married parties.
A case has just come before the
Hindoo courts which throws much
light upon that greatest of British
dependencies. Ruk NIibhai, a ma
tive girl eleven years old, was mar
ried to a youth of nineteen. They
were parted at the altar, and the
girl was taken to a refined home
and was carefully educated. In
time the husband claimed his wife,
but she refused to live with him.
He was a coarse stupid fellow, too
poor to support wife, and more
over a consumptive. The matter
was brought before a court, and
the judge decided in favor of the
wife; but this raised such an out
cry among the native population
that the highest court in the Indies
presided over by very learned
English judges, reversed the de-
cision of the lower court. The ma
tive population would not tolerate
the idea of wife having any
rights husband is bound to re-
spect. No matter what incompat-
ibility there might be, the wife
must bear the cross. This was the
position of all the HindoO women,
as well as of the men.
AT last accounts, this particular
Hindoo wife was pleading with
the authorities to set aside the law
in her case. Strong sympathy was
felt for her; but it was feared she
must submit to what would be al
most as cruel fate as the Suttee.
Widows in India have bitter lot.
They cannot marry again, they
have no occupations, and they lead
dishonored lives. Marriage GUS
toms are curious. In India they
initiate against the woman. In
Russia priest can marry but one
wife. If he loses his first consort
he can take no other. Hence they
cherish their wives, as do the mar
ried women of Hindoostan their
husbands, for If they lose them
they cannot marry again, and life
for them is emptied of all it's joys.
